The Nightmare Before Xmas: Sanjaya to Sing Again

Sanjaya MalakarDust off those pony-hawks and put on your earplugs, because "American Idol" wannabeen Sanjaya Malakar ('memba him?!) is about to start "singing" again!

The 18-year-old wavy, chestnut brown-maned crooner is hitting the stage for a solo performance in the holiday production of Langston Hughes' "Black Nativity" in Seattle on Sunday. Bah humbug!

While it may not be a Clarkson Grammy or an Underwood hit album, at least Sanjy has avoided the fate of many fallen "Idols" of yore -- and hasn't had to sing at the opening of a housing development , an outlet mall or regional balloon festival -- yet!

32. TMZ just want hits on its website . That's why keep using Sanjaya's name. Sanjaya is a nice kid. Give him a break.

33. Sanjaya stole my heart when I first saw him on AI with his beautiful voice. When I saw him in concert and met him after, he sealed the deal. I am a Super Fanjaya. I love the guy. Patience and Love will win in the end.

Go Sanjaya. We love you*

NEVER FORGET THAT!!!

38. Hey! What a great comparison:The Nightmare Before Christmas is one of my favorite musicals (wonderful music sung by the great Danny Elfman) and Sanjaya Malakar is my favorite Idol singer! *.* Sanjaya's got a wonderful voice, is charming and is a powerhouse on stage. He was wonderful on tour and even did a duo with Melinda .. who he kept up with btw .. and he sounded fantastic! Sanjaya's performances were just plain awesome! For those of you "sheep" who like to follow the pack and not give Sanjaya a chance, I feel sorry for you. Your missing out on a very talented, wonderful, charismatic young man.

39. How come Sanjaya didn't appear in the Chicken Soup for the American Idol Soul along with all his fellow Idol fans I don't know, but the kid is total entertainment. I enjoy him as much as I enjoyed the uplifiting new book. Can one possibly get enough Idol? I don't think so!

42. That kid is the poster boy for AIDS research. I hope the Idols Judges do a better job screening the show for 2008. He was a joke.
